The AAMA reports a first-time pass rate of approximately 69–72% for CMA (AAMA) candidates. This is lower than many comparable certification exams, primarily because candidates underestimate the depth of clinical and pharmacology content. Candidates who practice 200–400 MCQs before their exam date pass at significantly higher rates than those who rely solely on program coursework. Common weak spots are drug categories and interactions, EKG interpretation, and medical coding logic.
